May need to provide external power for a USB-attached drive with a Cardbus adapter. I had a slim DVD+/RW drive in a USB enclosure and it needed external power to read DVDs (not CDs though) even when attached to an integrated USB port. When I was playing with the Margi card in the L110 I was using an "IBM Portable Drive Bay" with an "ultraslimbay" DVD drive since I also have a Thinkpad 600E and 600X which use that format. The drive bay uses its own PCMCIA-to-ATA card and takes power from 3 AA cells if needed. Drive bay and drives are pretty cheap on eBay. >Date: Sun, 19 Mar 2006 23:17:22 +0000 >From: "Matthew Hanson" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> >Subject: Re: [LIB] Margi DVD-To-Go problems > >I've been archiving my VCD files to DVD+-Rs, and at some point will want to >ask about recommendations for DVD drives for the Libby to access them. >For fastest transfer rate to the Lib's HDD, I'm wondering if I should go to >a USB2 DVD drive over PCMCIA. __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
